I'm sure something by Joe Harriott was attempting to evoke this without naming it.

just putting these down here because they apparently don't exist anywhere else on the Internet

I walked in the bar, and immediately I sensed
The danger that was posed in front of me
There stood
Pissed up lads with loafers on their feet
Askin'
Who I was, and threatening me

And I said
first name: Man
middle name: Like
last name : Me

Say what?

I said
first name: Man
middle name: Like
last name : Me

And you are?

Just a couple of fools who can't handle their booze.
And we're gonna beat you with our brand-new loafer shoes.

999 on Friday night
Sirens screaming, flashing light
Boozed up boys in city centres
Confrontation through the nation

So I walk down the street on a Saturday night
And laugh at how our country's so lightweight
We got couples having barney in the street
Cause they drank too much damn WKD

Now we know everyone enjoys a drama
An innocent girl with a boozed up boyfriend who wants to harm her
It's not right, it's not nice, use your brain
Cut back on the booze and the drugs - especially cocaine

And I said
first name: Man
middle name: Like
last name : Me

Say what?

I said
first name: Man
middle name: Like
last name : Me

And you are?

Just a couple of fools who can't handle their booze.
And we're gonna beat you with our brand-new loafer shoes.

999 on Friday night
Sirens screaming, flashing light
Boozed up boys in city centres
Confrontation through the nation

Yes, I am blanking you
I'll admit to ignoring you

Sudden Sway, "Barmy Army"

"Last of the few of the Nottingham Crew
are you dead or on cola and aspirin?"
